‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Poster!

Last week, Paramount Pictures unveiled the official synopsis for the highly-anticipated sequel Star Trek Into Darkness. Today, the studio has unleashed the first poster for director J.J. Abrams' highly-anticipated sci-fi sequel. The title alone suggests a darker movie, which is backed up by this one-sheet. The iconic Starfleet logo is put on display in an innovative way, through the destructive ruins of a city. Check out this one-sheet, and stay tuned for more on this blockbuster-to-be, starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Zoe Saldana.

When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.

With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction.

As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.

@writer220 I love the new film although I still think he essentially rebooted the franchise. It exists in an alternate reality but I think it can still be called a reboot.

Still, I don't think "nothing is original anymore" is a worthy excuse. TRY TO BE NEW AND EXCITING. don't just blatantly rip off another poster, like Thor trying to do the Social Network words-over-face thing.

@ridgl nothing is original any more, it's all the same. Some people hate the new films and are deluded into thinking that J.J rebooted the franchise when he didn't. All he did was contribute to it since Enterprise began the prequel/ reboot.

@writer220 I mean that this poster doesnt excite me at all. Its overly "reminiscent" of The Dark Knight Rises but I also get an Amazing Spiderman vibe in the sense that when I think of the last Star Trek I think of something bright and fun, then we get this which is black and white for no other reason than that grit is in. Nothing about this poster looks original or fun to me.

Agreed, @bawnian-dexeus. It definitely has a distinctive TDK vibe to it, particularly the shape formed by the explosion and the color scheme. Of course, that isn't a bad thing, more like the opposite, really.
